Damien
Repositioning myself in front of the bedroom door after checking on Neah, I see that Raven is long gone.
I shouldn’t have kissed her. She may have tasted amazing, but I shouldn’t have let myself go like that. I couldn’t bring myself to reject her, not yet. Maybe I didn’t want to, not truly. Though she will come to hate me eventually.
Mallory creeps up the stairs towards me. Her lips pressed into a thin line that gradually crept up into a smile as she makes her way towards me. “Do you think she will speak to me if you are here?” She asks hopefully, glancing at the door.
"Mallory, we have been over this."
"Damien, I have to try."
“Nothing has changed.” I mutter. I wanted Neah to listen to Mallory, but it had to be on her terms. I had already learned that about her. “And she is definitely not in the mood right now. If you go in there, she will probably kill you on the spot.”
“Oh,” She leans against the wall next to me. “How am I supposed to get her to listen to me?”
“You don’t. You keep your head down. You do everything that is asked of you. You be respectful to everyone here. And then, just maybe, she will see that you are trying and be willing to speak to you, but for now, she is pregnant and if she feels a threat, it will be game over for you.”
She sighs.
“I have told you it won’t be easy. I thought you had trust issues, but the Alphas ability to trust is on a whole different level.”
She frowns at me. “She trusts you.”
“No she doesn’t.”
“Then why are you guarding her?”
“To show her that I mean what I say.”
Mallory rolls her eyes at me. We both had a very different belief system. She expected everyone to accept her as she is. Whereas I had always had to work for it. Human or not.
“Go back to the house. There’s no point in you standing here with me.”
“I will see you later?” She asks
“Sure.”
"At least you and Jess like me." she mutters as she turns away.
I watch Mallory hurry back down the stairs, until once again I am alone. My thoughts drift to Raven and how she hadn’t backed away from me. Not a single ounce of fear in her eyes. Anger and annoyance, yes. But no fear, even when I pushed her up against the wall. Almost as if she were expecting it.
A man bellows out my name as he runs up the stairs. “Dane needs you.” Danes Beta, Eric splutters when he sees me.
“Why?”
He glances to the bedroom door and drops his voice to a whisper. “It’s here. It’s in the hospital with Raven.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Alpha’s Contract (Taylor West)
I am clearly coming late to this book …me definitely one of the more well written ones. I feel like Im reading a series though … like I just finished reading two books and now we are off onto another storyline. Getting used to “splutter” instead of “sputter” as a word, and still trying to work out the “Lycan” logic as Blairs explanation doesn’t really make sense given the initial explanation of how Lycans came to be … I do wish these were in physical form. I do love to flip back and forth on pages to reread previous chapters. So much arder on these apps....
I love this book. I wish there were more chapters. I read this all in a week. I know life outside of writing is more important. I will just sit and wait for more to be released. I will support you always Taylor. Thank you for sharing your talents....
Ooh and thanks to the website techs ☺️...
